Neapolitan Pizza Dough

A versatile and simple pizza dough made from the simplest of ingredients… water, flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

This easy to make pizza dough, is based upon the classic Neapolitan Pizza. The beauty of this dough really is its simplicity. Based upon your level of dedication, you can just use standard All-Purpose Flour, or you can go all out and use 00 flour straight from Naples, Italy. I use this dough for both pizzas and calzones, including my favorite pizza-based dessert, the Chocolate Chip Calzone.

My love for Neapolitan Pizza, can be traced back to a small, but popular pizza parlor in Washington D.C., 2 Amy’s. The place has just the freshest ingredients and uses a wood-burning oven to make their pizza.
